Week 15

Hello!

Sorry for not blogging. If you see Lindy's msg on the left of my blog, my parents are here and I'm busy eating ahah!

I'm soooo thankful that they are here to cook all my meals!!!! I sound like a queen!! Yes, they practically cook from morning till night! Daddy would wake up early to make me breakfast, I would come home for lunch and dinner at 5pm! Because I'm pregnant now, I get hungry all the time. Sigh, it is not easy to have a kid really.

Time really passes by fast. I'm already week 15, hitting the 4th month soon!!! I went to the gynae last week and was told to go for another scan on the 22nd of August to check the gender and other stuff!! I'm so excited!

At the moment, my tummy is showing abit (I think), if not that is my fat! I have gained 1 kg so far!! I still got abit of morning sickness. Two days ago I vomited all my food. It was horrible. I read a blog, this girl (cos she is so young, like 24 or something) had MS for like 6 months!! NOOOO~~~~!!!!

I can't really think what else to blog. I hadn't had much sleep last night. Fred was snoring so loudly. Plus they say pregnancy will cost sleepless nights due to more blood pumping. Ah well, I rather believe it was his snoring! Anyone who got any remedies to stop SNORING let me know!!!

Week 13

Wow! I'm on my 13th week already! Soon I will be entering the second trimester!!

The last two days I felt that my morning sickness coming back again. I just felt abit sick after eating and again could not eat much. So far lost a kilo and hasn't gain back yet. But I'm not that worried cos I know the baby is growing :)

Sometimes I get abit of aching and pain down my tummy. Apparently it is normal cos the uterus is expanding. So now I must learn to get up slowly to prevent the pain. Cos it was quite scary at first not knowing what it is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG OMG! My family is coming over tomorrow morning!! I will be soooo excited tonight and definitely won't be able to sleep. But I need to get up at 7am!! Howw??? The house still in a mess but Fred did alot alot to keep it tidy!!! I realised he is really good at tidying up the place. I'm so proud of him!

Lindy said they are bringing a luggage of food!! WOAH!!!!!! I really can't wait!! It will be such a relief!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm abit tired and sleepy now. What's new ahha? I kept getting weird dreams and this morning some stupid person rang the house at 7am I think. It was only one ring and I got a shock! Arghhh and couldn't really sleep after.

OK that's it.. bye

So did you enjoy the pics?

How do you like the pictures? Hehe..

To be honest, the 3D one is impressive but quite scary looking. It looks lumpy lol!! That's not my baby!!!

When the lady first scanned me, the baby was moving. It was moving up and down and it was hilarious. Fred and I were giggling so much and the lady must be wondering we are still like kids.. how to be parents like that?? We managed to see the baby wave the hands with fingers!!! It was really cool and how big is it now? 6cm!!!! so how small were the hands and feet!!!!!!???

I was rather nervous today. Sometimes I wonder if there's really a baby inside me. The previous two scans, we only managed to see a little big. Like a patch of white stuff and the heartbeat. But this time, there was a head, hands and feet. It was so human!! I mean, a human inside me!! It was amazing and weird.. and it moved!! Now I must be careful incase I give it motion sickness!!!! But for today, I had to shake abit so that the lady get a good measurements at the bladder and other parts.

Apart from today, I feel really good now. I still feel nauseous when I'm hungry but at least I can handle my hunger much better now. This kinda changed last week around Wednesday. And it was pretty accurate cos I would have been about 12 weeks and the feeling of morning sickness was pretty much gone! I woke up not feeling that hungry and I was able to walk around in the morning without any food. But because more blood is pumping now, my cheeks are abit rosy and I get very thirsty and mild headache at times. Still its better than morning sickness cos it sucks!!!

I hope to upload more pictures when I go for my next scan!!! And I will be able to see the gender!! Woo HOo

Can you spot the legs?

So cute!!

Ultrasound - baby pics!

Family Reunion!

I'm soooo happieeeeeee!!! On the 12th of July, we are going to have a family reunion. Sounds like we haven't seen each other for ages! Well to me it is!!

When we are at home, we wish we were living far away with lotsa freedom. But when you really live away, do you really want that type of freedom? When you are sick and unwell, who do you really need?? Anyway, its hard not to be homesick. But my dear family, especially my sister has made everything so perfect!!! She gave up Dubai and Moscow for Perth. Imagine she will be working and my parents as passengers.. I was hoping one day I could do that. Then I can abuse her lol!!

Even though it is a day difference (earlier), it does make a difference!!

--------------------------------------------

Update on my morning sickness... I'm feeling much better.. just abit of heartburn. It is like indigestion. Usually pregnant woman get it in second trimester. But I used to have it before I was pregnant, so heartburn could be worse for me. Imagine eating two biscuits also can feel weird. So now I'm chewing gum to generate more saliva to alkaline the acid in my throat!!

-------------------------------------------

Onto another topic. Have you read Xiaxue's and Dawn Yang's blog? It is hilarious, love the blog war going on. Keep reading!! Who do I support? What do you think? Can say anot.. or better not.. later kanna sue lol. Imagine blogger sueing blogger... its really stupid. Then what is the point of being a blogger?

-------------------------------------------

My dear Lindy found the game for me!!!! Check this out!!!

http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

There are heaps of games. They are not that difficult to play but I love the music inside. Makes me want to play my piano again. Wait till I have some money I might get a second hand piano hehe.

Yay!!! My parents are coming over in 2 weeks!!

Sorry I haven't been blogging. (Haha as if many reading my blog anyways)

I was utterly ill with my stupid morning sickness! It's not funny. I didn't work nearly all last week! I think I nearly died. I was soooo dehydrated. I lost a kilo so far. But I'm not too worried cos I think its normal. Imagining just eating porridge water all day. Yuck!

Anyway my parents are coming over in 2 weeks!!! Really thanks to Lindy who helped me to super cheap tickets for them!! OMG! They are so cheap!!!!! I can't wait!! At least I can get some home cooked meals in my stomach.

I'm nearly 12 weeks. Morning sickness should go sooonnn!!! I missed my most important ultrasound on Monday coz I was spewing again. But I will check up next week. I hope everything will be fine!!! This first trimester scans to check if there's any adnormality in the foetus. Yes it is called foetus now!! The body is fully formed. At least there's fingers and little feet and a big head. Hahah. I can't wait to see it on Monday!!!!!

Today I feel much better so fingers crossed this will last. If not Fred is going to pull out all his hair. It has been such a stressful week. He was coming home and going to work to feed me. I was on the bed all day. It was that bad. I couldn't walk an inch. But apart from all, thank God I don't need to go hospital! I guess the baby was just fussy about food.

Alright, that's pretty much all I can blog about. Oh, read xiaxue's blog and dawn yang's blog. The war is on lol.

Wow... the doctor felt my baby

Hi, I just came back from my Gynae. I thought he is going to be a super old guy. But no, probably in his 50s. There was a student doctor in his room. I was abit nervous. I mean, who knows if the doctor is quite nasty.

We introduced and Dr McKenna started asking me a few questions. Like if i got any allergies etc.. He looked quite serious but then luckily Fred was with me. He loves to talk to people, so cracked a few jokes and there.

The cool part out of this whole visit was ... he pressed my tummy and he felt the baby. To be honest I was abit scared. How can you press my tummy? What if he squashed the foetus?? Anyway he felt it... and I thought it was cool. I wonder if I can press it myself. He also felt my bloatedness, saying it was normal. So I guess the question that still ponders in me from time to time... I really have a baby inside me!!!!!!!! Yes, sometimes I wonder if there is actually. I still can't imagine one day I wake up and my tummy becomes really huge. How am I going to sleep? How am I going to hug Fred? How am I going to look at my face in the mirror over the basin?

Guess I'm being silly. It was a good visit after all. I will be seeing him once a month in future.

It's Friday already?

Woah... time really passes by fast during winter. It feels good I guess.

Today I will be seeing my Gynae for the first time. I'm about 10 weeks now!!! Isn't that fast? I don't really know what the Gynae will do, will let you know after that eh.

Not sure anyone knows. Just about 2-3 weeks ago, there was this major gas explosion in Western Australia. It was so bad that many companies had to close shop and pretty much stopped working. Everyone, including my office had to try to cut down on energy. So right now, I'm freezing my ass off at work. I think it is about 20 degrees and it is SOOOO cold!!!!!!

Oh, today is the 20th. My contract ends on the 27th. How nice! That means I will finish my contract next Friday and I will be ... doing nothing!??!!? Really man, not sure what is happening to my job. It is just waiting and waiting.

I'm just happy working here, just my stupid boss. Yesterday, we got a meeting at HQ at 3pm. He said he was going. But at 2:30pm, he walked in (after disappearing for 1.5 hrs) and started eating a fruit (looking soo relaxed). I asked him if he was still going. He said "maybe, later". So obviously I had to take a bus to go there myself. When I reached HQ, sat down for 2 mins. I SAW HIM WALKING IN !!!!! WTF!!!!!!! He could have just tell me to wait for him for 5 mins right? Anyway he is a complete idiot and a jerk! Not that I mind taking the bus, it just doesn't look very nice.

Anyway, enough of complaining. I can't wait for Lindy to arrive tomorrow. I wonder where to take her. Then again, I hope I feel completely free from morning sickness tomorrow and Sunday.

My fingers are freezing from the cold as I typed. In 40 mins, I will be out of here to see my Gynae. My boss is not in today!!!!! Woo hoo!!! I might just go home and nap ahahha.

What should I say?

So many things to blog!! Where to start??

Friday

Work.. sucks.. actually its my boss. I woke up and really didn't feel like working. Instead, I rang up my hq and complained about my manager. I think I was crazy. But then again, it was the right thing to do. I made an appointment to meet up with my boss at HQ on Monday. For the rest of the day, I was thinking, pondering if I did the right thing.

Saturday

Lindy was here! She asked me to wake her up at 12 but I didn't. Cos I felt really ill again. And at 12:30, we were supposed to bring a dish to a 2 year old party. Obviously couldn't get up to make anything. But managed to attend the party. Lindy rang at 1:30pm, complaining why I didn't wake up her. Though a good thing, cos she had migraine in the morning. MIgraine sucks!

Migraine will not stop Lindy from shopping. We met up with her at 3ish, and did a bit of shopping and had some coffee time. Dinner was early, obviously I was starving at 6pm. We had viet beef noodles. So far that's my comfort food!

Sunday

A lazy day. It was pouring outside. I stayed at home with Lindy. Fred made me breakfast before he left to church. We lunch at Emmas Dim sum. The queue was so long. Duno why people must eat out when it is raining. If I can cook, I would. Still it is not the time for me yet. I was gonna faint waiting for our turn!

Again, shopping at Supre and then coffee. The day was so boring. Poor Lindy. So we went back home while I eat again!!!!! And Lindy had a nap. Sigh... Honestly hate winter. plus morning sickness!!!!

Monday

I met up with my big boss. It was such a scary experience. But I have to be professional and told him all the happenings. I haven't been abused.. but rather treated unfairly. He was great and offer alot of comfort. Sorry, I dun really dare to say what actually happened. Who knows who is reading this lol. Maybe let the matter rest for a bit.. then I will talk about it next time :P

Today

I heard a story today from a friend. It is real and very very unfortunate. Imagine one day you wake up, and realised everything was a lie. The person whom you've always been sleeping with, is a total stranger. Such things happen in movies. You will never think it can happen to you. When everything was so perfect, marriage, house, a baby... the man you loved was someone else. When you thought the signs were imagination, you had depression and seeing things... it was all true.

I once saw this documentary about this lady. She was a compulsive liar. Then she became a criminal and ran away. She met up with this guy who loved her and they got married. She lied to him that she inherited alot of money from his grandparents. And later lied about having cancer. She went on shaving her hair and even the neighbourhood believed her. First of all she didn't have the money, so she has been asking money from her previous boyfriend. So that's how she lied about having cancer.

When they interviewed her, she was still lying... to the reporter about some details. It's crazy how people lied about stuff. And this is actually a disorder in personality. People go through therapy to resolve this. But I don't see how it can help. The fact is they know they are lying but they still do it.

Anyway, enough said. I feel really sorry for my friend. I hope things will become better.

Sometimes...you just have to be Thankful

Have you ever received a chain email... where it has many quotes to motivate you?

For example,

When you are upset with your job, Thank God you actually got a job.

Ok, I don't know, and cannot remember the exact quotes. But at the moment, I just feel really crap. Wished someone can email me that to motivate me.

- Morning sickness again - Thank God I'm pregnant where some couples are trying for years

- Yes, I had an arguement with my boss. So work sucks. He busted me for forwarding an email to him saying "For your actions". Sigh. Very stupid but what to do? Thank God I have a job!

- When I feel down and homesick, Thank God for Fred who is here to take all my crap.

Yesterday was pretty bad. Had a cup of yogurt and threw up after that. I was at work somemore. Luckily dinner was at in laws. If not I really don't know what to do!!! Another good news is LINDY IS COMING OVER TO PERTH!! TWICE IN A ROLL!!! WOO HOO!! Thank God for a sister!!!

Hopefully I will feel better on the weekend.

I just had lunch... feeling so sleepy now. I didn't have a good sleep last night. My right shoulder was aching. I hate the cold weather. But it will take another 3 months to warm up again. Then again, don't complain Wendy. Thank God I got warm clothes during winter.

Alright, I have nothing much to blog about really. I'm so boring...

Another episode of MS

MS = Morning sickness

Lindy arrived in Perth yesterday. What a pity! I didn't spend much time with her cos I had my MS. Sigh... she came over and cooked me some yummy food. The smell was good. Reminded me of home. Unfortunately I still didn't have much appetite.

I feel really depressed now. I just want to go home to be with my family. I feel so emotional, no idea why. It could be the hormones!!!! I feel super needy, like a child! Poor Fred and Lindy, had to tolerate my crap yesterday! I was going to buy a ticket and fly back with Lindy. But obviously it is not a wise idea since I am still working!

I'm nearly 9 weeks now. I hope this MS goes away quickly! I just have to thank God that I'm not puking! And still able to eat alittle bit.

Just had lunch and tummy still feels alittle weird. Oh, also, I have been sneezing alot recently. I'm not getting a cold or anything. Just a little weird to keep sneezing. Maybe the baby is thinking of me ahahah.

Apparently it is developing limbs now. How weird is that! haah

Bloated... or maybe just FAT!

You know, I'm only about 8 weeks, I cannot zip up my jeans. SIGH!!!

Well, I'm not the skinny type. So I do have a tummy before I got pregnant. I used to be able to hide my tummy wearing jeans but now, I got this bloatedness in me and I have the thought of squashing the baby if I zip it up.

Ok it is just not my jeans. ALL MY BOTTOMS ARE TIGHT NOW!!!!! boOhoOOO!!! sO depressing!!

So last night I went to buy some maternity bottoms! I bought this black tube thing to go round my hip so that hide my unzip jeans or bottoms! It cost me $20! I say it was expensive. I also bought a black tights (I lost mine when I really need it now!!!) and a black pair of sports pants, which can look formal. So I might wear it to work hehe!

Other than feeling bloated, I still feel alittle sick sometimes. Yes that nauseous feeling. It is not welcoming at all! I hate it! I get abit of period cramping at times. And I'm very very tired after work. Say I finish work at about 5pm, I would want to sleep at 6pm. Its crazy! But yea, I control it and after I shower, I feel much better. Really it is not a good idea. I should really take a nap when I have to. Weekend is here!! Can't wait to sleep and sleep!! Haha

You know I'm only 2 months. My dear hubby saw some cheap and good quality cots and insist on buying it. Sigh, I don't want to be negative but I'm not sure if its a good time to buy. It was really cheap at $169!! Normal price is twice as much! Anyway I told him not to buy. I still have 7 more months to go, surely there will be discount.

Some updates on my interview. I had a message from my ex boss in Singapore, saying that my company contacted him for reference. So I'm quite happy at least something is happening. Just as I am writing, my current boss got an email too. I can't wait! I want to go to Singapore!!!!! I just want to take a few days off and go!! But I don't want to go alone. Ah well...

Oh another thing, someone won $58 million lotto last night! Dammit right! $58 million!! Anyway I couldn't get over it. I had already thought of what to do with $58 million. BOoooooOO! I don't think I will buy another lotto ticket. Really I don't like such things. Arghh waste my money only!

Ultrasound II

The baby is now 1.5cm!!! The last scan showed the sac to be 3mm!! So it is growing and has a heartbeat!!

Luckily there was a long weekend. All I wanted to do was sleep and sleep and eat and eat! Monday, I had a dream eating Nasi Lemak! And I woke up. All I want was Nasi Lemak! The crap thing was that it was public holidays and many resturants were not open. Fred was really frustrated. Cos he didn't know what to do. I was so depressed. Honestly, I never had this sort of cravings until I'm pregnant. It is just crazy. I was so upset, I wanted to go back to Singapore. Luckily, Fred found a place selling Nasi Lemak in the city. I was honestly super fussy! I didn't really like it. It was not authentic enough. After eating, I went straight to bed. Hoping to dream of other food.

Yesterday, we went to have Yong Tau Foo and Fried carrot cake! Oh!! It was so good!!! It feels like home!!! The food settled comfortably in my tummy!! No complaints!!

Pregnancy is really crazy. First of all, I have to accept the fact that this little thing is living inside me! Second, I have to combat the morning sickness. Thirdly, to combat cravings when I'm in perth. It is so difficult! I'm constantly hungry. But I just can't eat much which is a pain. Then after 1.5 hrs I would be hungry again!!!!!

Fred has been eating all the leftovers. I don't know how he does it. He is probably sick of food by now.

It is 10:36Am now at work. I have eaten, a packet of LeSnack, a museli bar, about 100 g of cereal. And I'm still hungry!!!! I just want some real food. I want fried bee hoon, or a bowl of dry minced pork noodles. I WANT TO GO BACK TO SINGAPORE!!!!!!!

Sigh... I hope I get a reply on my interview soon!!!! So that I can plan my holidays!!!

Pregnant and Work

Hi all, how are you doing today?

So far, the day has been not too bad for me. I'm standing strong so I shan't complain. I managed to eat out last night and this afternoon. And I had chicken rice on both occasions. Only thing is, it cannot be compared to the one in Singapore. The rice was not flavoursome. It was bland and sweet. I suspect they put in oyster sauce which is WRONG!!!!!!! I miss the chicken rice in Singapore! Can anyone please send me one right now!!!!! If only the security wasn't so tight everywhere, I could have gotten someone to send me a packet of fishball noodles!!!

Being pregnant and at work is really not easy. Especially when I'm in the first trimester. I'm constantly snacking and I'm not at my best. Nauseous feeling can hit me anytime. So I do feel rather emotional at times. My stupid boss is being an idiot today. He loves to put me down, especially in front of client. So that he looks high up there! Like a KING! I made a mistake today, and he said something really sarcastically. I hope he gets his karma soon!

Alright, so far my day has been rather boring. Nothing much to blog about. I shall leave it as it is!! Till then, take care!!!

Sorry for the delay in blogging!!

Hi everyone!!

My BIG sorry for not blogging!! To be honest I was abit skeptical to talk about my pregnancy. People always say tell when you are 3 months. Honestly I'm not that type of person. Anyway, I have uploaded a few posts on what's happening to me. Happy reading!!!

Today I have sort of found out how to battle with my morning sickness. It is actually to EAT ALL THE TIME!!!

It sounds crazy but it is so true!!! For the past few days, we did a few research and tested out many things. So far these are the food that works for me:

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger and cheeseburger!!!

OMG!!! It is so unhealthy!!!!! Sigh no choice to be honest. I cannot stand cooking smell so Fred has been forbidden to cook. Even when he wants to cook his favourite sausages, I have to make sure the door is close.

Alright, it is not just cheeseburger. With the help of a good friend, she is pregnant herself, she made me dinner for the past two days. I really don't know how to thank her. The food was so good and really calm my stomach. Even Fred love it! Though it wasn't made for him!! She suggested grapes and almonds. She also gave me biscuits which helped her and a fizzy lemon lime bitter!! So far, all of those worked very well!

Now, I have all the food that works for me. Still I feel sick sometimes. I found out that this is because I have to eat every 1.5 to 2 hours. It is so true to eat small meals throughout the day. It really helps. I tried to eat before my hunger pangs start to hit me (before gastric juice invade my stomach wall).

Anyway now, I just have a whole lot of snacks in my drawer, next to my bed and everywhere I go. My boss must be wondering why I am constantly eating but I don't really care. I have yet told him because doc advised me to wait for 3 months.

Today I am official 7 weeks!

Morning sickness has taken over our life.

This is not funny anymore. I feel so depressed and simply wish to end the misery by... sigh negative thoughts again...

I was off sick leave on Friday. I woke up feeling dizzy and HUNGRY!!! Last night, I woke up eating biscuits on my bed because the hunger pangs were unbearable.

So far, Fred has been really helpful and I am really really thankful. He was practically my slave. I had to think of what to eat, and he will go get it for me. He cannot cook everything but was always there when I needed something.

This weekend I was in bed all day. So far I have vomited 3 times. I did my best to control and I think it went really well.

In the evening, I was all stressed up wondering how am I going to work feeling this way!! Fred decided to buy me a Sea sick wrist band! And unknowingly, after wearing it for about 10 mins. It works!! I'm so happy!!!!!

Interview + All the Bad Lucks I had

Today was my interview. I wasn't feeling 100% due to my morning sickness, just praying really hard that I will be able to go through it successfully.


We headed out of the house. It rained heavily last night. Fred realised he forgotten to close the sun roof of the laser. The seats were soaked. Sigh. That means we had to take this bumpy subaru. That will help my morning sickness. !!!


When I went to work, I realised my toes felt alittle damp. Then I checked the sole of my shoe. Alas!!! There is a big hole!


All I did was panicked. And I made myself felt worse. I quickly went to the vending machine to get some sweets. Luckily it helped...


Interview....


Interview went pretty alright. It was casual and I pretty much said what I knew. Only didn't really stucture my statements properly. I wasn't too nervous. Anyway I'm glad its all over!!!! I can concentrate on my body!!!!!


Pleaseeee baby.... stop this nauseous thing!!!

Guess what? Morning sickness has kicked in!

OK, I never knew morning sickness can be that bad. I felt really depressed at the moment. I was not ready for this. Just a few days ago, I was so happy and eating was just so easy. Now all I want is my mum. I'm going crazy. Fred is going crazy too i think. He doesn't know what to cook for me. Or what to buy for me.


I need my mum!!!!


I can't seemed to find anything I like to eat here!!! HOWWWW!!! Everything seemed to be so salty. I'm not even sure if they are really fresh.


I don't what is wrong with me. I'm feeling so needy and terrible!!!!


At 4pm, I rushed home. I was going to throw up. But I controlled it. I had a nap and woke up eating KFC. KFC wasn't tasty anymore. It was tasteless to me. Sigh!! HOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!


I want fishball noodle soup!!! I want all the Singapore food!!!
